“Understand” – Fabrizio Romano opens surprise departure door for Chelsea striker

Fabrizio Romano has opened a potential departure door for one Chelsea striker in his latest transfer update.

The transfer expert has posted on X this afternoon and addresses a rumour from this morning.

According to Romano, Blues striker Armando Broja is not considering a Turkish league move in January — despite strong interest and concrete requests.

However, the door remains open for a departure because Romano says interest remains also from Premier League clubs and different leagues abroad. So Broja certainly has interest.

Chelsea have been linked with signing a new striker in January, so I guess a lot will end up depending on what they do there. But it certainly looks like they ideally want a new striker in the winter window if they can get one in.

I can’t see Mauricio Pochettino wanting three strikers in his squad, especially when he only plays one up top. It’ll be interesting to see how this one pans out.
